#94, Mark Herzlich

Hi everyone,
Hope everyone made it through exams without too many issues. I just wanted to give a very sad but hopeful update on Mark Herzlich, #94 and the Captain and driving force behind our defense on the Boston College Football Team. Earlier today, ESPN.com reported that Herzlich is currently battling Ewing's Sarcoma Cancer, a cancer that affects the bones in your body. You can find the link Here.



On behalf of UGBC I just want to send our thoughts and prayers to Mark and the Herzlich family. Mark is an incredibly talented, well spoken, driven and motivated individual who embodies what it means to be a man for others. His work on and off of the football field is commendable, and we hope we can show our support for the Herzlich family through this difficult time. If you could, please keep the Herzlich family in your thoughts and prayers through this difficult time. Boston College is a great university and a great community because of the way that it truly cares for each and every individual. Herzlich has done so much for Boston College, lets return the favor by supporting him and his family through this difficult time.

OK, that's all for this update. I hope everyone who has made it home has done so safely and soundly. Have a great summer, have lots of fun, be safe and keep checking for updates as we continue to make progress.


Sincerely,

-Al
